Waiter came back as we were tucking in to explain 9 of our pound coins went out of circulation in 2017. Oops. If I drop them in a charity bucket at Gatwick, will a bank still take them?

Icy Turkey Guzzler 🇮🇸 Dec 2024 9:06pm, 21 Dec 2024 18,264 posts	0 Icy Turkey Guzzler 🇮🇸 That's what I read too, Daisy. I bought a bunch of various currencies from our priest as they had been collected at mass over the years. Very, many years as it transpires 🙈. I hope there are not old twenty pound notes in there. I also bought Euros, US dollars,.Danish kronur and Singapore dollars (though I managed to spend the latter)
LittleDonkeyDaisy Dec 2024 8:19am, 22 Dec 2024 41,132 posts	0 LittleDonkeyDaisy Morning all! It's breezy but not massively windy so dog walk followed by a run on my plan. My throat and chest are still lurgified though so a short run only, I think.

My running mojo has disappeared this week but I'm hoping to get out for a few miles once this horrible weather front has gone through.
